How to register an account on GitLab. Due to spam, new accounts are locked until approved by an admin or the approver bot. Your GitLab account gets automatically approved within one hour if you are a member of Trusted Contributors in Gerrit, or a member of the Trusted-Contributors group in Phabricator and linked your Developer account to your Phabricator account. If none of these apply, you can file an unlock request to expedite access.

This allows avoiding to parse the username, and acting on a tool based on the certificate you use. Allowing also running inside containers as a different user than the tool user.
This might get overwritten eventually by the a user-specified parameter (ex. --tool othertool) when we have other auth types available.
